The Guestlist w/ The Hood Internet

It's not even a question anymore. Over the past couple of years Chicago's The Hood Internet have mixed and matched their way into our hearts, becoming far and away our favorite mashup artists in the process. And it is not even close.

Their massive internet success can be partly atributed to the fact that the duo is so on top of their game that they very often come up with tracks just as they are hitting the hype monster. Deftly like a pair of hip-hop encyclopedias they always come up with just the perfect selections to mash with, whether it be legends of the old school like Beastie Boys or up-and-comers such as Drake. Something about it just works.

But it would be a disservice to simply label them mashup artists and leave it at that; the duo are accomplished DJ's who have played big festivals like Lollapalooza as well as exclusive MTV music awards after parties. In any case, it should be quite the treat when the boys play The Loft in the very near future.


"The Top 5 Music Genres We Just Made Up" by The Hood Internet


'Ambient Crunk'
It sounds like Lil Jon whispering over screwed up whale noises and 808 kick drums.

'Boingstep'
It's a close relative to dubstep, but the bass sound is replaced with "boing" sounds and other comical sound effects.

'Earthcore'
It's similar to the music in the rave scene from the matrix part 2, but with more drum circles.

'Bonewave'
It's a hybrid of R&B and chillwave, specifically listened to while having sex while on drugs.

'Vuvutone'
Mighty Mighty Bosstones covers performed entirely on vuvuzela horns.
